Marshmallows

Is there anything more fun than marshmallows?

Why yes,

marshmallows with food colored faces!

And is there anything more fun than marshmallows with faces?

Why yes,

marshmallows with stylish icing hairdos!

They're super easy and fun to make. All you need is food coloring, a thin paint brush, icing and of course marshmallows. Now I really want to have a house party just so I can fill all the snack bowls with silly faced marshmallows instead of chips!

I think I could eat all of them except for the blue one with her eyes closed. She just looks so peaceful and unsuspecting...she would get to live in the freezer forever and make friends with the frozen peas.

@heather says- haha thank you! I've just been eating marshmallows all week and the other day I looked at them and thought they'd look adorable with faces! I wish I could start my own funny faced marshmallow company ;)

Soo cute! Maybe I should try that on those jumbo marshmallows I saw a couple of days ago. Those are four times bigger than the regular ones! Ooh, I feel an idea coming on! Add a few mini ones... Marshmallow-families! :D :D

i love your ideas. Just to let you know how you inspired me. My husband and I went to europe and we need to be able to identify our luggage. I doodled all over them in black marker. I had a great time. We were standing in line to check in and someone say "oh did your kids colour on your luggage" I just smiled and said nope ... just me. I was really easy to find our luggage.Thanks for the inspirationM

fantastic - I just happened upon your post and I think it is the cutest idea I have seen in a long time!Was recently across my border in your country and they have apple sized "campfire" marshmallows. Crazy!

Such a cool idea -- your fabulous ideas just keep flowing and flowing! And, I am excited to share there are now great VEGAN marshmallows out there -- I love Sweet & Sara (http://www.sweetandsara.com/) so even us veg folks can enjoy making/eating these! :-D

I just finished reading the WHOLE blog. I REALLY enjoyed it, but from the other side, now I'll have to wait for a single notes and it'll only take me a few seconds to read it... :) but well, I guess they'll be the most colorful seconds in my life!

My brother and I did this today! we didn't take photos before turning them into rice crispie squares, however, and when the marshmellows melted together they made the grossest colour rice crispie I have ever seen (it kind of looks facial mask mud coloured?). Still, delicious! and a lot of fun :)

These are so freaking adorable. Totally made my morning! There is a woman on etsy who makes adorable marshmallow bubble bars. (http://www.etsy.com/listing/48741575/marshmallow-gang-bubble-bars-4oz-to-5-oz)Not quite as cute but almost. I am trying to convince myself that I have the patience to do this or keep it in mind for years down the road when I have kids.

Bonjour dear Katie! What a darling idea, a gazillion thanks for providing all of us with such brillant projects! I made some "faces de guimauve" for a small brunch affair I had. I was late and in a hurry, but it still turned out quite wonderful.
